If you watch III before VI, it ruins the revelation that Leia is Luke's sister. Someone who hasn't seen the films would see Padme name the second twin "Leia" and think "WTF?!".

I don't know, that may make for an interesting revelation at the end of III.

I had never actually thought about this as I saw the OT before the prequels. On reflection though I do think it would be great if the secrets revealed in the OT (Anakin=Vader Leia=Sister) had not been spoiled, maybe Padme could have named Luke out loud and then whispered to Obi Wan with her last breath the name of the other child.

I think the revelation that Luke even has a twin sister will be shocking enough for the fans who didn't know!

I agree with Jaina and not MadWook or Proudfoot.

Nearly makes me cry every time.

I know. Every time I watch it, even though I know it's coming, I still start to tear up and sniffle.

I just watched ROTS. It wasn't as bad as I remember.

But plothole? The Jedi send Anakin to spy on palps because they don't trust him. He immediately blows it and tells him that, so you can assume he didn't do any actual spying until he tells Mace that palps is Sidious.

Then later on, Yoda and Obiwan call up the footage from the Jedi temple of Anakin's massacre, and then play the footage of Anakin joining Sidious. But that is from when Mace was killed, from inside Palpatine's office. How do they have footage from that? If they had a camera inside his office the whole time, why did they need Anakin to spy on him? and shouldn't they have known what he was up to a whole lot sooner?_________________The spirit can die when the force that's crushing it is great enough. By raining bullets down on the silent faces, already turned away from the world, you thought you could destroy the face of our truth. But we have faith in a different force. That hopeless hope is what sustains us now. My comrades are more numerous than your bullets, and more patient than your executioners.

This one actually works, but you're making a fatal assumption. Note that the dialogue in the scene you're referencing (on the security holo) is similar but not identical to the office scene. These are not the same. From what I can tell, either Palpatine joined Vader at the Temple after the massacre was over, or he communicated with him via holo (impossible to tell for sure), to go over some very similar, but slightly different points._________________"I'm...from Earth."
